I came second to a snail.......

[kelack]

Well, my aerial picture came second in the local fete. The theme was local life so I took a picture of the whole village while up in my microlight. I lost to a picture of a snail. But it was taken by an 11 year old and the colours were good and it was sharp, but I lost to a snail!

Here's the aerial piccie:

I got a box of film and a camera as a prize for the special mention:

albeit it was a disposable camera

You know what they say Kelly,it's the taking part ,not the winning.:shake:

[nikonkid]

bet your feeling a little "shell" shocked.

 

[kelack]

Don't get me wrong, I'm still chuffed at coming second

Means I have a challenge for next year

 

[erding]

i am sure if you had shown the judges your thread here about your dan dare aerial you would have won just out of sympathy.

How did they know the snail lived locally then?

 

[kelack]

Tom, one of the judges waved to me as I went over in the microlight, she knew I was going up

Ian, not a clue I asked the same thing

[kelack]

No pictures of the snail, sorry

Hmmm, snail and garlic butter yummy

Yes, but hopefully more U18's will enter next year and we'll have our adult category back to adults again

sounds like a fix then - obviously a case jealousy

ask for a re-count or send the snail to france.

 

[kelack]

But it was a very good macro picture of a snail

[Cobra]

congrats on the Second Kel
But to lose to a Gastropod?..........no way!

You could have always "shelled" out a little to bribe the judges :shrug:
or even "slugged" the kid :shrug:

Alls fair in love and 'tog competitions
And remember its not the taking part its the winning that counts

 

[King of Groove]

Well Kelly you'd better start attracting snails in to your garden!
